From the beginning

Where to begin?

When I was about to get married, my great-aunt Minnie gave my wife and me blank notebooks and encouraged us to keep journals. "What a fantastic idea!" we both said. The journals went unused. I came very close to revisiting the idea when my first child was born, but sloth won out again. As usual.

He’s so smug.

5+ years later, I’ve gotten the urge again and this time, I’m acting on it.

The first dilemma I faced was whether or not I would blog anonymously. This one I’m still iffy on, but I’ve decided to blog overtly. It may keep me from posting some things that I otherwise would, but that’s probably a good thing and will help keep this space relatively rant-free.

For now, I'm forgoing having a clever name for the blog, but I will try to title my posts based on song lyrics whenever I can. You can play along at home by seeing how many you can identify without cheating and searching the internet.
